Oct 12, 2008 - On your hot water heater you showed you use a variable resistor of sorts to control the power on the heater coils. Is this because the heater coil gets too hot for the liquids (ie flammable glycerol) or because your thermostats were just not reliable or not working? I have setup aa similar setup but before I power it up I wanted to verify you had not found a flaw. I was going to use the thermostat but the fluid around the coil would be obviously hotter then the 145F were thermostat is set
